In 1939, Eva Nothmann and her parents
escaped Nazi Germany, the home of their forebears for many generations, to take refuge in
faraway Australia. After she experienced the horror of Kristallnacht and the shock of
seeing relatives imprisoned, thirteen-year-old Eva found herself a lonely outsider in
Australia, missing home and her widely dispersed family. In time, she found solace,
purpose and even love in the fledgling Zionist youth movement, Habonim. In 1946, she and
her new husband, Henry Urbach, left for Palestine and participated in the establishment of
the State of Israel. Circumstances forced the young family to return, reluctantly, to
Australia where they and their two children rebuilt their lives.
Eva is an acute observer and a skilful raconteur of the human side of some of
the twentieth century most important events. |
